House document l76. bill an act granting
additional rights to the Eden Water Company
of Bar Harbor, came up by special assign
nent, pending third reading, and was read
the third time.
Mr. Talbot of East Machias made an ex-
tended argument against the passage of the
bill, as infringing the vested rights of the
present Bar Harbor Water Company.
Mr.. Powers of Houlton spoke 10 favor of
the bill, citing the negligence of the Bar
Harbor Water Company in not living up to
the requirements of its original charter, and
arguing that the State had not parted with
the public rights to pure water by the origi-
nal charter to the old company.
MIR. Hersey of Harpswell was in favor of
giving charters to half dozen new compa-
MES if they petitioned for them.
Mr.. O'Brien of Thomaston thought the
charter proposed to the new company was
just, right and proper, and in the interest of
the public.
MIR. Wright spoke earnestly in opposition
to such monopoly as the Bar Herbor Water
Company seemed to his mind to be. He
thought the people had the right to obtain
pure water through a new company, if the
old enc did not supply them sufficiently.
MIR. Grindle of Mount Desert, said it was a
fact that the granting of this charter would
deprsciate the value of the property of the
Bar Harbor Water Company, and he thought
gentlemen ought to consider whether they
wished to injure the property of fellow cit
iZen. The new company. if chartered, would
be greater monopoly than the old company,
if the old company was monopoly.
